Looks ordinary until I put the first piece in my mouth, it’s totally out of this world. I’m not a big fan of fatty char siew but One Bowl did it so well that you must have the fats to make the char siew tender. Taste is just right too

The 45mins queue trend is over! Seafood is sweet, fresh and succulent but soup seems to be lacklustre in flavors. You can taste the savoriness of the soup but missing the sweetness from the seafood. But one thing is true, not too much of MSG (or not at all) as I did not have to quench my thirst thereafter.

Tucked at a corner below a block of hdb lies this zhi char coffee shop which serves bloody good asam catfish. You know people usually attack the belly part of the fish because it's the most tender. But with the catfish, every part of the fish is equally tender and the asam gravy is pretty wicked! Personally, I think the other zhi char dishes are so-so but the catfish is one not to be missed! Not sure if the catfish is a cheap fish but for $28 a whole fish it's damn worth it! Pls be reminded the catfish needs to be ordered like 2-3 days min in advance. Recommended to make reservations for dinner as well. This place is pretty small and the crowd starts pouring in after 7pm.
想吃鯰魚嗎?那不如到黃家咖啡店一趟. 大量推薦這家的亞參鯰魚! 魚肉又嫩又新鮮,配上亞參醬汁味道更佳! 別道的煮炒品質還好,但鯰魚儘量別錯過!

Steamed squid, veg with eggs and prawn omelette. All served piping hot. 1001 bukit merah central. A hidden corner of the industrial building carpark.

Taste of prawn paste was really strong and prominent. The skin so flavorful, crispy and meat very juicy! If we wasn't visiting so many places that day, I think I could easily conquer at least 3-4 pieces! •
